“(Towards the players) faith does not change.”
“The first loss of the season,” said Hong Myung-bo, coach of Ulsan Hyundai.
Ulsan Hyundai lost 1-2 in the away game of ‘Hana 1 Q K League 1 2023’ against Daejeon Hana Citizen held at Daejeon World Cup Stadium on the 16th. Ulsan (6 wins and 1 loss) suffered its first defeat this season. It failed to reach the record of 7 consecutive wins, the most at the start of the K-League.
After the game, coach Hong said, “I think both teams played well. The tempo was very fast. I had the feeling that I was being chased in the second half, and I had to score quickly. I had several chances, but I couldn’t score. Then I lost. I think the match was very good. Although we lost, the players did their best. “he said.
He said, “I knew that the opponent’s pressure was fast. However, there was space in the midfield. I aimed for that part in the second half. We were under pressure. We conceded goals like that. I think we prepared well for the match. We knew it, but we thought our players were a little tired. That part was disappointing in the overall game management.” 안전놀이터
It’s the first loss of the season. Coach Hong said, “This is our first loss. The atmosphere can be sluggish. It was good that our players won 6 consecutive victories. Daejeon’s away match is difficult. We do not take issue with it. We did well in what we have done so far. Today’s performance was not bad. My belief does not change. “he said.
Ulsan will play the ‘East Coast Derby’ against Pohang Steelers on the 22nd. Coach Hong said, “Until now, I thought about today’s game. I have to think about it from now on.”
